Oh no! I jinxed it \ud83d\ude41 \u00a0So today we got a lot accomplished, but we had a pretty rough morning. \u00a0We had some real problems with calling out and talking, and we had to do some practice with regards to working quietly. \u00a0The afternoon was better, however!<\/p>\n

This morning we talked a good bit about points of view again. \u00a0We introduced the idea that not all 3rd person points of view are the same. \u00a0There is 3rd person limited, 3rd person omniscient, and 3rd person objective points of view. \u00a0Sometimes the narrator knows everything, including all characters thoughts and feelings. \u00a0That’s 3rd person omniscient. \u00a0Sometimes the narrator only knows about one specific character’s feelings. \u00a0That’s 3rd person limited. \u00a0And sometimes, they only know what characters do, and not their thoughts and feelings. \u00a0That’s 3rd person objective.<\/p>\n
Tonight students have a selection of passages from Roald Dahl books to read. \u00a0They should identify if each passage represents 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person point of view. \u00a0They should then explain how they knew what each was.<\/p>\n
